as to promote the common interests of the electrical industry in the exchange of information.
EAR was founded in August, 1924 "by a group of local manufacturers, jobbers, contractors,
dealers and Rochester Gas & Electric Corporation officials for the specific purpose of promoting
the electrical business in general in Rochester and the vicinity and also in order to develop wider
use for electricity and electrical equipment". [Source: Rochester Evening Journal and The Post
Express, November 10, 1933].

That mission is still true today...over 84 years later. The organization sponsors educational
classes and training programs, the Construction & Maintenance Division, social events, an
annual luncheon in honor of Thomas Edison, a scholarship program, a contractor referral
program, group medical coverage for members and their employees, a tri-annual trade show,
an industry newsletter, and a web site to keep current with all EAR has to offer.

Ask anyone who has ever become active in a non profit organization and chances are they will
tell you that they get far more out of it than they have ever given. The experience of helping to
run an organization adds a different perspective to their everyday lives and provides valuable
insight into the industry and the people that make up the industry.
